Only I, a big orange, can't cultivate immortality

Since Cheng Zi and Jiang Shuke were going on a study tour on the first day of the new year, for the New Year's Eve dinner, Liu Niangzi took out the craftsmanship of pressing the bottom of the box and cooked a table full of dishes.

Flying in the sky, running on the ground, swimming in the water, everything that one expects to find, let the two silly sons who love food go to the table with their stomachs on their stomachs, and it takes a while to recover after paralyzing on the kang.

The baggage was packed yesterday, and it was placed next to the pillow. It looks ugly on the outside, but there is a lot of space inside, full of things.

It is not an exaggeration to say that if Uncle Jiang hadn't stopped her, Miss Liu would have wished to use Cheng Zi's bed as an excuse to put her family's bed in it.

The situation at that time was roughly as follows:

Uncle Jiang: "You might as well put the kang on the bed."

Lady Liu: "You are right, I choose to put them together."

Uncle Jiang: "Don't, don't!"

Cheng Zi watched the whole process, and went up to help pull Lady Liu's leg halfway through. The only thing he felt was that his mother's hobby was heavy.

Just after midnight, there were crackling firecrackers in Yinyu Town.

Second Uncle Jiang also put one in the yard, and the crisp sound spread far away, echoing repeatedly under the night sky.

Jiang Shuke had already fallen asleep, his hands and feet were spread wide as usual, his belly was exposed, and he snored from time to time.

Cheng Zi curled up his four paws, resting his head on his front legs, and his ears drooped softly, shrinking into a fluffy cat.

Lady Liu covered Jiang Shuke with a quilt, gently stroked Cheng Zi's head with her palm, looked at the bedside for a long time, and then tiptoed away.

The door was closed, and the sound of footsteps went away. Cheng Zi and Jiang Shuke suddenly opened their eyes by coincidence, and looked at each other with helpless smiles.

Cheng Zi stretched his body, bowed his waist and stretched a long laziness, then spread his limbs, like a big cat cake, lazily hooking his tail.

Jiang Shuke turned over, put his hands on his back, and asked in a low voice: "Hey, Cheng Zi, the Lord Mountain God took you to play in the human world, can you tell me what the human world is like?"

"Meow..."

With his chin resting on the pillow, Cheng Zi told him to go to bed early without saying anything.

What is the world like?

The world is a world of mortals, and there are ups and downs everywhere in the world of mortals.If you want to know what it looks like, don't listen to others, you have to feel it yourself!

Early the next morning, at dawn, Jiang Shuke packed his bags and left home for a study tour.

It was Wang Yunli who set off almost at the same time as him, but Wang Yunli chose to ride the green bull on the road alone, and chose the completely opposite route to him.

Cheng Zi squatted on the fence, watching him carry the cow away, disappearing at the end of the morning glow, and had a vague premonition that he would abandon Confucianism and follow Taoism.

There is no way, that green bull has too much sense of sight.

"orange."

Lin Jiangxian's voice came from outside the door, and before Cheng Zi had time to turn around, his figure appeared in front of him.

It's rare to see him, he changed out of his favorite blue clothes, a plain Confucian shirt, and his hair tied up with a rayon scarf. His appearance is elegant and handsome, and he loses the sense of immortality and distance. He becomes like the scholar next door and is easier to get close to .

He put away the cane that never left his hand and replaced it with a folding fan.

Cheng Zi stared at Immortal Linjiang in a daze, it was clearly the same face, but it made him feel like two people.

"What, you don't recognize me?" Linjiang Xian's lips curved slightly, she raised her folding fan and tapped on the top of his head, her lowered eyebrows and eyes became more bookish.

"Meow!"

Cheng Zi recovered, covered his head and complained.

Immortal Linjiang picked it up with a smile, and took out two dew-stained winter dates from his sleeve.

Cannibal's mouth is short, Cheng Zi immediately smiled, and after rubbing against his hand, he took two mouthfuls of jujubes happily.

Second Uncle Jiang and Lady Liu only sent them to the gate, and did not follow them to the entrance of the town, but Taxue who came to see Cheng Zi followed for a long way, and when they got to the pear tree, they even made the pear tree bear a bunch of fruit on the spot , All stuffed into Cheng Zi's arms.

In addition, there are fish sent by Yi Jiangshan, the elder sister of Bangyi, salted egg yolk rice dumplings carefully prepared by Shen Jiangyue, etc.Those who didn't know thought Cheng Zi was the one who went on a study tour, and Jiang Shuke was the one who accompanied him.

Jiang Shuke himself naturally didn't mind these things. When he left home for the first time, when he left the town, he couldn't help turning his head to look behind him, and his footsteps were muddy.

But as soon as he left the town, his attitude changed immediately. The whole person was like a bird out of the cage, jumping and jumping on the uneven road, running forward against the wind with open arms, making strange calls constantly, free and carefree.

Cheng Zi took a bite of the winter jujube, his face full of indifference.

Not surprisingly, this dead boy has always been a superb performer.

Jiang Shuke's study tour route goes eastward, and the first stop is the lower reaches of the Chunshui River, which is the Spring City of the Li Dynasty.

There was no ferry nearby, so Linjiang Xian cut bamboo to make a raft, and the two of them went down the water with a cat. On the way, they passed the River God Temple on the Chunshui River, and said hello to the river god grandfather who was on vacation.

"Oh, the Jiang family boy has grown up so much?"

Grandpa River God was originally sitting on the bluestone in the middle of the river. When he saw them, he first bowed his head to Immortal Linjiang in salute, then put down the storybook, and reached out to touch Jiang Shuke's head.

In a blink of an eye, he saw Cheng Zi who was looking at him with big round eyes, his smile became more kind, and he lifted him from Linjiang Xian's arms, rubbing and feeding him a wild fruit that grew on the bank.

Sweet and sour, mouth watering.

Cheng Zi smacked his lips, tilted his head and lowered his ears, and rubbed Grandpa River God's beard coquettishly, asking him to give him some more.

"Okay, okay, I'll give you some more." The River God smiled happily, picked a handful from the river, and stuffed them directly into his hand.

Seeing this, Jiang Shuke rubbed his hands and poked out his face expectantly, with a sweet mouth: "Grandpa River God, do I have one?"

Immortal Linjiang looked indifferent, but his outstretched right hand was very enthusiastic.

After staying with Cheng Zi for a long time, the always cold and staid mountain god also learned to joke.

The God of the River froze for a moment, then burst out laughing.

I wasted some time at the Heshen Temple, and it was already noon when the bamboo raft landed on the shore. The bright sunshine melted the snow in the mountains and forests, carrying the apricot blossoms that fell from nowhere, and flowed into the moat of Spring City.

After crossing the river bank and walking a mile or two further, a city appeared at the end of the field of vision.

It is majestic and majestic, with a heavy historical charm.But it is also beautiful, and even the moss on the city wall is poetic.

There are two teams entering the city at the gate of the city. On one side are common people in bunt clothes, or carrying ox carts, or carrying backpacks. They are indescribably hardworking and full of vitality.

On the other side are mostly students and wealthy families riding horses or carriages.

Although the status and status of the two teams are very different, the soldiers guarding the city treat them equally.

Because of this, everything seems to be in order.

This was a scene that Jiang Shuke, who grew up in Yinyu Town, had never seen before, and it became his first impression of the world.

Cheng Zi rested his paws on Immortal Linjiang's arm, poked his head to see the scenery in the city, his eyes were full of anticipation.

……

——Copying books and making couplets, writing letters on behalf of others, ten pennies a time.

——Looking at the fortune teller, matching the marriage, those who are destined will get it.

In the noisy market, among all the stalls including food, drink and entertainment, there is only one person who does not take the usual way, writes two things that are far from each other on his blue cloth signboard, and then sits calmly in the empty booth. At the back of the booth, people read with relish the borrowed book of tales of strange things.

The afternoon sun slanted to the west, and the market was on the west side, and there was a lot of open space, so there was no shelter. Only where he was, there was a shadow hanging from the sloping corner of the eaves, so that he didn't have to worry about the distress of the sun.

The vendor next door remembered that he laughed at him in the morning for choosing a position near the air vent, and now looking at the bright sun above his head, he had the inexplicable feeling that the clown was actually me.

You must know that the reason why Spring City is called Spring City is because the four seasons are like spring here. The late winter here is hotter than the early summer elsewhere. It is exposed to the sun at noon, and it will be fine for a while. .

Fortunately, today is the first day of the Lunar New Year, and there are not many customers, so he was able to hide under the booth while there were few people.

As soon as the peddler squatted down, he heard the strange person next door being slammed on the table, followed by a rough male voice:

"You bastard! How dare you lie to me?!"

The peddler was startled, and sneaked out his head to look to the side. He saw that the man was still reading with his legs crossed, his expression unchanged, and he just picked his ears with his little finger.

"Guest," he turned over a page of the storybook, "how did I ever deceive you? You don't want to dirty people's innocence."

The person who patted the table was a man with a rough face and a fierce face.Hearing the stall owner's words, his thick brows stood upright, and his wide-eyed eyes squeezed together made him even more menacing, and he was very difficult to provoke.

"You have no good intentions, you little boy. What did you say to me yesterday? You said that the girl my mother found for me was a good match, and she must be a good wife when I got it back! What happened? She has a pockmarked face and a fat, round body. It's disgusting! What kind of good marriage is this?! Didn't you lie to me?"

The stall owner didn't raise his head, and raised his slender eyebrows slightly: "The girl from the Chen family is gentle, hardworking and capable. Although she is a little short in appearance, she is just right for you. Why isn't she a good match?"

He turned another page, and the conversation suddenly became fierce and vicious: "It's you, the guest, not to mention your mediocre appearance, and your temper is irritable and irritable. I think you are not worthy of others."

"In this way, I really shouldn't have made up this marriage. Oops! Mistake, misstep!"

"Brat, say it again!!"

The rough man was injured by a pass, and he jumped into a rage on the spot, grabbing the edge of the table and throwing it hard——

Not tilted.

He froze for a moment, and continued to exert force in disbelief, but the table remained motionless.

The stall owner looked up at him, his eyebrows were straight and elegant, and he clasped his left hand on the edge of the table. He lifted the table slightly and shook it, and the tall and strong man flew out. When he was about to fall to the ground, suddenly behind him Two people came.

Jiang Shuke, who was carrying a burden and looked around, and Linjiang Xian, who wiped the mouth of Cheng Zi, who ate wild fruits until his mouth and claws were sticky.

"what?"

The stall owner's brows moved slightly, revealing a bit of unexpected surprise. He was about to stop the big man again, when Lin Jiangxian flicked the handkerchief in his hand, and the strong wind swept his back, pulling him face to face. He fell down hard.

"Woo meow...huh?"

Cheng Zi stretched out Xiaofen's paw, obediently waiting for him to help wipe it clean, seeing this scene unexpectedly, raised his head curiously.

"Hey, brother, what's wrong with you? Why are you walking so carelessly?" Jiang Shuke walked around the big man and reached out to help him.

The big man lay on the ground for a long time, but he couldn't get up, but he hated Jiang Shuke's extended helping hand, stood up on the ground and rushed to the previous booth, like an angry bison.

Hey!There is excitement to watch!

Seeing this, Cheng Zi became even more interested, and tried to stretch his neck to look over there, his eyes were piercing, and he didn't even notice that the paws covered with wild fruit juice touched Linjiang Xian's white sleeves.

It is human nature to watch the excitement.

Of course it's a cat.

Immortal Linjiang pinched the paw helplessly, looked at the blue plum blossom print on the sleeve, and comforted herself that at least the pattern was pretty.

It's a pity that Cheng Zi didn't see the excitement that Cheng Zi wanted to see. The patrolling soldiers found the place noisy, and rushed over quickly, and drove away the strong man who was still talking about the stall owner and even wanted to fight, to calm down the incident.

The stall owner seemed to have expected this matter to develop like this, and continued to read with his legs crossed, looking very chic.

Cheng Zi froze for a moment, puffed out his mouth and retracted into Immortal Linjiang's arms, and at the same time printed another small plum blossom on his lapel.

Jiang Shuke also regretted that he didn't see it as lively, but he didn't take it seriously. He turned to Linjiang Xian and said, "Mountain God...Brother Lin, let's find an inn to stay in, and we can continue shopping after we settle down."

"Yes." Lin Jiangxian nodded in agreement.

Two people and a cat walked past the stall, and when they were about to go to the other side of the market, the stall owner suddenly said: "Today is the first day of the Lunar New Year, and the inns in the city are not open."

Cheng Zi turned her head when she heard the sound, just in time to meet his raised face.

He is very handsome, very elegant, with a face of a scholar, but his temperament is so lazy that he is almost world-weary. Even his slightly raised phoenix eyes are full of boredom. To translate his expression is——

I am not targeting anyone, I am saying that everyone here is a hot chicken.

The Bking radar in Cheng Zi's head rang, and he leaned back and hit Lin Jiangxian's chin.

"It's a cat." The stall owner closed his eyes, feeling more world-weary, "So fat."

"...?"

Cheng Zi gasped.

What's the matter with this man?Why come up and attack cats?

"Meow meow meow!"

Cheng Zi was so angry that his eyes stared round, his face bulged round, and when his hair exploded, his body became even rounder.

"Ah, even fatter." The stall owner actually smiled when he saw this, "It's really well raised."

Cheng Zi raised his head and complained to Immortal Linjiang: "Meow!"

look at him!

Immortal Linjiang held back her smile, hugged him and rubbed him against his face: "It's okay, in my eyes you are not fat, you are just fluffy."

"My friend, the raccoon slaves are too fat, which is not good for their health. Let them eat less in the future."

As if on purpose, the stall owner straightened up and exhorted solemnly.

From the moment he spoke up to now, almost every sentence hit Cheng Zi's point, especially this one.

Cheng Zi was so angry that he stretched out his claws from Linjiang Xian's arms, hooked the edge of the table and was about to lift the table.

The stall owner suddenly chuckled, the weariness and exhaustion between his brows disappeared, he held its paw and squeezed it: "Okay, I made a slip of the tongue. To express my apologies, why don't I introduce a suitable place for you? "

"..."

Immortal Linjiang retrieved Cheng Zi's paw calmly, touched him again, and looked at the stall owner meaningfully: "Then please."
